Phil was one of my best high school friends, his parents were very friendly and I always enjoyed visiting their farm not to far from ours... The small town, Degraff area, was a great place to grow up as a kid...

Phil was on of my best friends in High School. We had a lot of good times together. We also have enjoyed getting together with him at our five year class reunions. He will be missed in 2022
Our thoughts are with Barbara and the family these days.
